Black Cat was also expected to be a fixture of Sony's Silver and Black team-up film with Silver Sable, only for the project to be scrapped in favor of stil-stallled solo projects. The journey of Black Cat potentially heading to the big screen has been a long one, after Anne Hathaway was poised to play a Black Cat-esque daughter of The Vulture in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4, and Felicity Jones portrayed a civilian version of Hardy in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. These powers make her an ally, adversary, and love interest of Peter Parker's Spider-Man, as well as a formidable costumed character in her own right. The daughter of an infamous cat burglar who eventually follows in his footsteps, Felicia becomes a vigilante who is skilled in a number of fighting styles and can subconsciously create "bad luck" for her foes.

One of the most popular possibilities for Sweeney's role is Felicia Hardy / Black Cat, so much so that "Black Cat" began trending on Twitter after her casting was announced.
